A strange world

Chapter 385 Section 43. Treasure Layer

When it comes to the pinnacle of human civilization, only the floating city can represent the brilliance of humankind.

Ever since the arcane masters of the Elven Calendar built the original floating city, it has become the ultimate weapon of mankind. Ignore the threats on the ground, can move, heaven on earth... Apart from being expensive, the floating city has no disadvantages.

As for how expensive it is... the cost of a floating city can be built with gold coins, and the subsequent maintenance is also sky-high. For example, the outline of the floating city on the other side of the strait that Sir Tovis can see... The less than 20,000 gold coins earned today should be able to sustain its consumption for how many days?

Now Annan is like a child holding a copper coin and wanting to buy a city-state. But there is always a dream. Annan does not have the luxury of directly owning a floating city with its mage tower, arcane tower, and infrastructure... The first goal is: let a piece of mud float first.

When the floating mud turns into a village, Annan can brag to the outside world: I, Annan, am the lord of the floating city.

As for how to float... After arriving in Middle-earth, Annan's knowledge gradually became insufficient, and it was time to go to the library for a walk.

If only I could use the ability to imprint knowledge on bread and then eat the bread to master knowledge...

"You've got what you want, when will you let us go?"

The future Lord of the Floating City, Annan came back from his thoughts and asked the prisoner who was speaking: "Are you sure you want to get out?"

"As long as you let us go..." the young man gritted his teeth.

Annan waved his hand to let the elements release their control.

The students who escaped from trouble moved their stiff bodies, but they didn't realize that they were free. Only some students tried it bit by bit to confirm that Annan really didn't stop him and ran out.

Only a small part, the majority felt that this was inappropriate and stayed. They were worried that Annan would catch them as soon as they ran out. It didn't take long for their fears to be verified - several of the escaping colleges were captured by the elements wandering outside, and then...the weapons and staffs were confiscated and the ransom IOUs were signed.

the second time.

They completely gave up the idea of ​​​​escape, and at the same time they secretly discussed that this was not a warlock, it was clearly a dragon in human skin.

"When does our contract begin?"

The armored girl following Annan was even more anxious than he was.

"rest for a bit."

Summoning Mr. Swarovski consumed the last bit of Annan's magic power. He had to meditate first and then resolve the contract matter.

There are still ten hours left before the end of the bottom nest competition, and there is still time to go to the treasure layer.

"What did the blue dragon mean when he said you killed hundreds of thousands of ratmen?" Theophilus asked. They didn't know Annan's record yet.

"Literally, I wiped out a swarm of rats in the North."

Annan's words caused exclamations. They had only heard Annan say that he was the nemesis of the rat people before, but they didn't know what he did specifically.

Entering the house outside the stronghold, Annan touched the little girl's hairless head: "I will go to the treasure floor to find your parents after I recover some of my magic power."

Annan began to meditate, and Alice and the others looked at the prisoners and the students captured by the element-receiving team.

Alice knew what Annan needed, so she continued his practice: collecting, signing IOUs, and auctioning.

The Bottom Nest is not a conducive environment for meditation. There are always weird murmurs coming from distant places that affect Annan's meditation. After five hours of meditation, Annan barely recovered the magic power of less than two spells.

After walking out of the house, the stronghold still maintained the same atmosphere as before the meditation. Even the lighting did not change. Only there were about twenty more players in the corner than five hours ago.

"How many invitations do we have?" Annan asked Alice who was welcoming her.

"Thirty-three, and people from two colleges are here, but the invitation letter is not found. Theophilus is interrogating."

"Continue the interrogation. I will set off after signing the contract with Ellie."

Annan activated Brudonna's parchment, and brimstone and fire filled the air along with the horned female silhouette.

The students saw the devil...but after seeing the elemental army, the blue dragon, and the epic mage, summoning a devil didn't seem that surprising.

Annan did not waste his magic power and asked Ilimoyas to help check the contract - he felt that Brudonna was half a friend, so he only added a clause at the end of the contract: all hidden terms of the contract were invalid. After checking to make sure there was no invisible ink or pattern that said "This article is void", Annan and Ellie signed a contract to trade sixteen gold invitations for ten thousand gold coins.

"Wait a minute." Annan called to Brudonna, "There are...seventy-three contracts here. Are you interested?"

…

Twenty minutes later, trainee devil Brudonna completed seventy-five contracts - because the elements captured two more students.

"These contracts should increase your performance?" Annan said easily, holding a stack of parchment contracts.

"Performance?"

"That's it... the progress of becoming an official devil."

"Um."

The value of these contracts is not high, but they can win by quantity.

"It's time for me to go back," said the silhouette formed by the flames.

“A pleasure to work with.”

After a slight hesitation, Brudonna said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate..."

After confirming that nothing was missed, Annan and the others were ready to set off.

Isabelle followed them. Annan could not return the loot, and was worried that Isabel, who had lost her self-protection, would have an accident in the bottom nest, so he had to take her with him.

There were also seventy-five prisoners. Annan would send them to the upper level to avoid being caught again as soon as they escaped. Annan doesn't mind repeated exploitation, but he still has to maintain some reputation.

At least don't let the name "Annan" be disgusting and hinder the promotion of magical images.

The layer above the barbecue layer is the fourth layer, the black gold layer. This place is full of huge gears and pipes, and it is here that the portrait Annan saw in Olin Montreal's office is from.

Leaving the prisoners here, Annan, carrying a hundred large elements, passed through the passage unimpeded and reached the third floor, the treasure floor.

It's like going from an underground world to an underground city - a garbage city. There are piles of unprocessed and stinky garbage everywhere. The garbage discarded on the surface has become a treasure that is eagerly sought after.

All entities in Annan's path were getting out of the way. No matter the big shots, gangs, or colleges, stay away from them.

Follow the copied map to the marked location, a house in the middle of Xia District.

The doors and windows of the house were boarded shut, and the door handles were covered in neglected dust.

Theophilus climbed up the steps and knocked on the door of the next house.

"You are a mage, so be more elegant."

As Amy complained, the crooked door panel was pulled open, and an old head emerged: "You...who are you looking for?"

"I would like to ask, where have the people in the next room gone?" Annan asked.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief: "You asked the right person. The Brads here left ten years ago."

In the last two hours of the competition for the bottom nest, Annan found the little girl's home.
